Atypical Sicily wine: rel. low alcohol and medium bodied. Though present tannins and acid. Fruity and mineral notes. High complexity. Bought it today at the vinery and love it! — 2 months ago

This is a story of two wines. The first one is what I experienced the first evening I tapped the bottle through Coravin, after about 20 minutes in the glass. It opened up to a beautiful melange of red fruit, a touch of spice and an off the charts, distinctive grippy minerality. Truly beautiful. Though they come from radically different climates, it reminds me of the beautiful that Teroldegos of Foradori, or a prettier Hugh end Beaujolais Cru.But it’s so hard to catch it right. Between the whiff of funk at the start, the closed off moments and the drop in quality on day 2 (24h after Coravin!) it’s always a good wine but so much fragility to catch it as its peak — 2 months ago

Pop old bottle

Merlot is a thin-skinned grape and typically tends to ripen faster than Cabernet Sauvignon.

Bold but smooth and dry

« Merlot is a staple of the wine producing regions of South America. Alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère, the bold, spicy grape contributes to Chile's reputation for creating great, affordable wine.

Chilean Merlot tends to be full-bodied yet gentle, relatively low in alcohol yet with a bracing acidity, and it often has a divisive “green” characteristic to it.

Chilean Merlot can stand up to strong flavors fairly well, so pair with a big red-sauce Italian meal, some meatballs, a bit of roasted turkey or even a good pizza. » — a year ago

The 2022 Sottobanco, a varietal Procanico, displays dried flower, crushed rocks, underbrush and apricot aromas. Textural and weighty, it’s lifted by zesty acidity and mineral tones. An ambrosia-like wave of nectarine and ripe melon follows. The 2022 finishes spicy and with candied ginger hints. $24.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2023) — a year ago
